[buug] Commercial firewalls

[Bill Honeycutt]

Hi,

I'm doing some commercial firewall fact finding for my company.

This is a medium sized company (200 users with a similar number of 
remote hosts) and our preliminary nattering has focused on three contenders:

	Checkpoint FW-1
	Cisco Pix 515e  (w/ restrict, also unrestricted)
	SonicWall pro 4060

I'm hoping some of you who have deployed these or similar commercial 
solutions might comment, damn, praise, wax philosophic, etc., about your 
experience with them.

We do a lot of packet filtering and port blocking.  We have a VPN set up 
for some remote users, ICA thin client services and a smattering of 
apache extranet pages.

I seem to remember this being discussed a while back, but the archives 
aren't searchable : (

Thanks!

Bill
